About Skyla
Skyla Hammond is an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - who brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She frames therapy around listening first and then helping people find practical steps forward. She is based in Hawaii and offers services in English, and she welcomes international clients.
Skyla's approach is practical and down-to-earth. She draws on client-centered work that puts the person's experience at the center, and on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help unpack unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to build momentum and reduce stress.
She has worked with people who have experienced trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, sleep disruption, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Depression and bipolar concerns are among the issues she lists as focus areas. She also helps with parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and aging and geriatric issues.
In sessions she favors short, concrete steps alongside supportive listening. People can expect breathing and relaxation practices, goal-setting conversations, and helpful ways to challenge negative thinking. Skyla believes many clients already know what they need; her role is to encourage and guide the change process.
